At Our

Apalachin Elementary School

I know you parents are going to be very upset next week when that big, old yellow bus stops at your house and takes away your child for another school year. Some of you will cry, especially if it's your very first child to start school. But, remember if you hurry, you can beat the bus to school and have the great moment of watching your little one get off the bus and go into school. Believe me, don't worry. I've been there. The children will be very well taken care of!

The principal and his well-trained staff with Mrs. Gee will be there to greet them and show them their way on to their First Day at A.E.S. And I'll bet you 100 to 1 that they come back home safe and happy the very same day!

And then there are some of you parents that will meet your friend for lunch because you have extra time on your hands!

And some of the children act sad about leaving the happy days of summer with all their friends, and having to go back to school for a whole year. But, after about two days, everything will be OK and a new school year is started! (Happy days are here again!)

Remember, folks, please drive safely and watch for the little ones getting on and off the bus.
